Does anyone have an idea what to use instead of Yogurt ? Neither me or my husband can tolerate it. Sounds good. but....

My entire family loved this. My daughter made it for us. That made it extra special. I'm going to try it with pecans next time. I loved the cranberries.

We don't like 'fake' whipped cream, didn't have any, so I made with all yogurt (2%) instead. More a light dessert than a salad for our tastes but very tasty and I'll be making it again. Excellent for a healthy breakfast dish, too!

We love this salad! We use what ever apples we have in the fridge and leave out the craisins and add grapes. You can really play around with this! Thanks for a great recipe!

Left out the cranberries, and substituted whatever yogurt I had on hand. Great healthy dessert!

Added additional sweetener. My brother-in-law asked to take some home.

I'm not big on apples and my fiance hates salads, but we both absolutely love this. He begs me to make is constantly.

So good even my friend's 4-year old called it "delightful". Love the extra flavor from the cinnamon and the fact that there's no mayo.
